"Death To Hitler-Stalin Occupants"
"The Ukrainian Insurgent Army is fighting for the Ukrainian Independent State and for enabling every nation to live a free life in its own independent state. The estruction of national enslavement and exploitation of one nation by another, the system of free nations in their own independent states is the only order that provides a just solution of the national and social issue in the whole world.
UPA is struggling against imperialists and empires because the dominating nation in them enslaves the other nations both culturally and politically while exploiting them economically. That is why UPA is fighting against the USSR and the German "New Europe."
With all its resoluteness the UPA is fighting against internationalistic and Fascist--National--Socialist programs and political concepts, since they are the weapons of the aggressive policy of imperialists. That is why we are against Russian Communist--Bolshevism and German National--Socialism.
UPA is against one nation "fulfillment of its imperialistic goals "liberating", "taking under protection" other nations, since behind these sly words the disgusting meaning is hidden---enslavement, violence, robbery. That is why UPA will keep on fighting against Russian---Bolshevist and German aggressors until Ukraine is cleaned up of all the "protectors" and "liberators", and Ukrainian Independent State is achieved, in which a farmer, a worker, and an intellectual will be able to live and develop freely, prosperously and in a civilized manner.
Page One UPA is fighting for the complete liberation of the Ukrainian people from Russian--Bolshevist and German yoke, for creation of Ukrainian Independent State free from the interference of capitalist, and Bolshevik commissars, NKVDsts (KGBsts), and party parasites.
In the Ukrainian State it will be the highest priority of the nation to follow the interests of the people. Not having any aggressive goals, enslaved countries and subjected nations, the natural inclination of Ukrainian nation will be not to waste time, energy and resources on creating the machine of exploitation and enslavement. Ukrainian people power will direct all economical resources and all human energy on building the state order, just social system, creating the country's economy, increasing the cultural standard of the people.
